Publishing Research
If the final product of your project is a paper or manuscript, you may consider submitting it to a journal for publication. Depending on the quality and significance of your work, your faculty mentor may suggest submitting your manuscript to a discipline-specific journal.
Before submitting your work, talk through your publication plans with your faculty mentor and have them review your work.
Remember that the Writing Center offers services for writers!
